Why does the vertical component of velocity for a projectile change with time, whereas the horizontal component of velocity does

not change?
Physics
1 answer:
dlinn [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer

When a body moves in projectile motion it has two components. One of the components is a horizontal component of the velocity and another is a vertical component.

The velocity along the horizontal component does not change because there is no acceleration long horizontal component.  

Whereas velocity along vertical direction keeps on changing because the acceleration due to gravity is acting on the object. At a maximum height of the projectile velocity is equal to zero.

Two objects have the same velocity. These two objects have different masses. Which object will
kogti [31]

Answer:

The object with the greater mass will have the greater momentum

Explanation:

The momentum of an object with mass <em>m</em>, moving with velocity <em>, </em>is given by the formula

M = <em>mv</em>

<em />

Since both objects have the same velocity <em>v, </em>it is clear that the object with the bigger mass will have the greater momentum

You are in a spacecraft moving at a constant velocity. The front thruster rocket fires incorrectly, causing the craft to slow do
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It continue to move forward at a constant velocity which will be slower than before the front thruster was fired.

Explanation:

Before the front thruster was fired, the spacecraft was already moving at a particular velocity.

After the malfunction, the front thruster is fired and then the force exerted by that front thruster slows the spacecraft down, as we are told.

By using the rear thruster to exert a force equal to that from the front thrusters, a force equal in magnitude to that of the front thrusters is added, cancelling out the effect of the front thrusters. Because the spacecraft is already moving at a slower speed at this point compared to the beginning, it continues to move at that speed.
